Free HDTV Movies? Yes please.

It is official. Media Center will release a new Extender that will allow HDTV streaming of DivX/Xvid to the 360. No more trans coding or converting to WMV! I might actually decommission my original Xbox. If you don’t have XP Media Center Edition or Vista Ultimate you may want to make plans to switch to take advantage of this upcoming functionality.

Altho, I have many troubles getting media sharing to work between my PC and 360 when I run XP Pro, I just gave Vista a go and getting the 360 sharing my PC’s media library and connecting the Media Center Extender took less than 5 minutes.
